How many cross aldol products (without counting stereoisomers) are produced in the following reaction?

Solution

The correct order of increasing acid strength of the compounds

D < A < B < C
A< D < B < C
B< D< A < C
D< A < C < B

Solution

The correct order of increasing acid strength

CF₃. COOH > MeOCH₂COOH >CH₃COOH> (Me)₂CH.COOH

Electron withdrawing groups increase the acid strength and electron donating groups decrease the acid strength.

Reaction of butanone with methyl magnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis gives

2-methyl-2-butanol
2-butanol
3-methyl-2-butanol
2, 2-dimethyl-1-butanol

Solution

The increasing order of the rate of HCN addition to compound A – D is

(A)HCHO (B)CH₃COCH₃

(C)PhCOCH₃ (D)PhCOPh

D < C < B < A
C < D < B < A
A < B < C < D
D < B < C < A

Solution

Addition of HCN to carbonyl compounds is nucleophilic addition reaction. The order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds is Aldehydes (smaller to higher)Ketones (smaller to higher),Then

HCHO > CH₃COCH₃ Ph.COCH₃ PhCOPh

The lower reactivity of Ketones is due to presence of two alkyl group which shows +I effect. The reactivity of Ketones decreases as the size of alkyl group increases.

Reaction of cyclohexanone with dimethylamine in the presence of catalytic amount of an acid forms a compound if water during the reaction is continuously removed. The compound formed is generally known as
